Bace1 Inhibition recovers leptin sensitivity in DIO mice and reduces inflammation. Vehicle or M-3 (10 mg/kg) administered to (a,b) lean (n = 5–18/group) or (c,d) DIO (n = 7–14/group) mice for 5 days, each group given saline or leptin (2 mg/kg) twice daily for the last 3 days. Food intake (a,c) and % body weight change (b,d) at end of injection period. Hypothalamic pSTAT3Tyr705 levels by ELISA for vehicle or M-3 treated mice receiving saline or leptin. (e) lean (n = 6–7/group) and (f) DIO (n = 7–8/group). (g) Hypothalamic levels of SOCS3, SOCS3 and PTP1B of DIO mice given vehicle or M-3 (n = 7–9, SOCS3 mRNA and protein; n = 5, PTP1B). (h,i) Relative cytokine levels of DIO hypothalamus after 14 days vehicle or sc M-3 (h) or icv M-3 (i) (n = 9–12/group). Data are means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test (af) or 2-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test (g,h,i).
